[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iaminflames:
Just wondering if there are any roms out there that allow overclocking but don't have delayed lockscreen touch? I have tried a couple and they seem to have about a 1-2 second delay before I can unlock my screen and its a but annoying.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
If I understand correctly, the only ROM that should have lockscreen lag would be Darchdroid 2.7. That's due to some kind of workaround to get the touchscreen functional. Any sense based or non-aosp ROM shouldn't have any kind of lag.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
i use recovery heroc162--- .6 stock w/odex by nfinite and darchstar4 @ 710. my clock speed always reads at 691.21. my device has the lock screen delay. its a little annoying.

is there any possible way to get the vanilla lock screen?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
Vanilla lockscreen wont help. It has to do with the fact that they are using AOSP synaptic drivers instead of HTC synaptic drivers. .6 Stock from nfinitefx will have no lockscreen delay if you dont flash a OC kernel. Stock everything is fine because it is using the right synaptic drivers. Currently I have tried everything and there is nothing out there that is overclocked and doesn't have lockscreen lag except Ic3Rom. I was trying to figure out a way to flash that kernel into the Darchdroid rom but i can't find anything. It is extremely annoying and everyone says live with it but there is no other device on the planet that has a lag on the lockscreen. I want the devs to attack this problem first before anything else. I would literally kill if someone could get a DarchDroid Rom with absolutely no lockscreen lag.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
Actually, if u'r using a non-AOSP rom, such as SenseUI based roms, there is an OC'd kernel you can flash by Urushiol. U'll have to flash the v4 kernel, as it does use the HTC synaptic drivers in it. Currently, Urushiol and Darchstar are working on compiling a undervolted (UV'd) kernel that uses the correct synaptic drivers (by HTC) so that we can have OC + UV kernels that won't have the 1-2 second lag upon waking the device. Hope that helps a little for ya'llz. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smolck:
I have used Aloysius overclocked and it has a lag like DD 2.7 does. What you can do is use DD 2.7 and in the settings you can set the trackball to be the unlock. Tap it twice, no lag.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
It really isn't that big a deal.... What are you racing to do that a 1 second delay is annoying? Hit menu, don't think about it and then hit unlock.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
v4 kernel @710 has the delay.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibedabeeto:
nfinite45x deoxed with HoneyBunOCV3, I don't seem to have the delay. I had the delay with all the other OC update zips for the rom. Could just be me though
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
The original rom even has a slight lag when the phone was sleeping, but as soon as the screen is awakened, you can instantly click the unlock button... with the AOSP drivers, aka uv kernels, you have to wait a second or two even nafter the screen wakes to click the unlock button.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athanos:
I have read that some of the OC kernels will idle down to 19 for a minimum, even when the screen is on. However, I have never had this problem. Are you using an OC widget? I would get the OC widget from the Market and set your minimum and maximums there. Also, set the min and max for when the screen is off. I have mine set to be a min of 245 when the screen is off and I do not have any lag.
[Vibrant General] kwbdc:
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have one ringtone for all calls and then assign different ringtones to different contacts. Only some of the custom ringtones will ring when they call other times it goes to the default. I've confirmed that the ringtone is assigned to the right contact and even tried to use ring extender program but it's sporadic.

I actually replied to that thread. I wasn't asking how, I was checking to see if anyone had the same issue with personal ringtones not working for all contacts.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jhego:
Is there an texting app that uses the data plan instead of text plan? I currently only have 200 txts per month and don't want to go over it. I believe iPhone has that type of app and hopefully Android would have one too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] systoxity:
i believe google voice does this
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aikeru:
Can confirm from personal experience -- just make sure you turn off SMS alerts in GV settings. In other words, the app on your phone checks for SMS but GV doesn't send a real SMS to your phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bjd223:
I don't know if this is still true, but almost every carrier allows txtx from emails.

Example everyone on att has an email address that it 10digitphonenumber@txt.att.net

If you email them at this address (it will use your data plan), and they will receive it as a txt.

Not sure if ATT changed this you might want to verify that this will go over data.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] derek4484:
That does work, but if that person receives your txt and replies back, I think it comes back to your phone as a SMS. So you still use one SMS.

Try Google Voice. You can send SMS from it and when they reply back it goes to your Google Voice number in lieu of your real cell phone number. That way it comes in to the Google Voice app. But just as someone else recommended, make sure you turn off SMS notifications, otherwise every time you get a voicemail or txt message google will send you an SMS message to notify you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmhalder:
or use google talk, its quicker, and they have a BB/Android/iOS client... AND its already installed on your phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I just tried TALK last night, and I have Google Voice. I can get messages, but and reply to them.

But I can't figure out how to send a text to someone in my address book whom I have not received a text from yet. The only people who show up in the contacts list for TALK are people who have Google IM set up in email, and that is very few.

Any tips?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brandonb81:
When I go into my regular contact list and tap Send Message I get the option to choose Messaging, Handcent or Google Voice to send the message with. What happens if you just tap send message on a contact?

Edit: Oh you said Google Talk. I didn't know you could send text messages using talk. Nevermind then! But you can use Google Voice. Additionally you can set Google Voice notification to e-mail instead of SMS so you'll be e-mailed when you get a new SMS.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
That is interesting. It does NOT come up and ask me how to send it. It just tries to send it.

Now, here is something maybe: I did not ever see any insructions that I need to install Google Voice on my phone. I just now went to the market and searched for it, and am installing right now. (Google seems to me to be horrible about providing documentation/instructions).

....

Ok, it is installed. I just went to contacts, selected send message, and it is the same.

Another thing...I have seen demos that if you swipe a contact to the left it goes into message, and to the right it calls. It calls no matter how I swipe.

Another note: I do not have SMS messaging with AT&T, and in fact I have it turned off, because I don't want people sending me SMS that I get billed for. I wonder if that could have anything to do with this.

By the way, I had been told I needed Google Talk to get the TEXTs that others send me. But...that was when I was on a WinMo phone. Maybe I don't need Google Talk. Maybe I just need to figure out how to get Google Voice working on this phone. Alathough I will say that the text message I did get from a friend I'm trying to test with came in via Google Talk.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
Got it working. The install of voice on my phone helped :o
[Captivate Themes and Apps] derek4484:
I'm pretty sure Google Talk is more like a chat IM service than a text messaging service. The person you are wanting to chat with has to have the client installed on their phone as well.

I think Google Voice is the best option for free text messages. You can get a free new phone number, then you just open Google Voice and text away. Anybody who replies to your SMS, their txt will come into Google Voice for free. You can send and receive free text messages all day long.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cliffgardner:
Not paying AT&T for a texting plan is definitely going to be nice! Thanks for the info.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PzykoSkillz:
It will come back to you as an e-mail if you send it that way. I've texted my mom a few times this way and the reply shows up as an e-mail.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mgxplyr:
Google voice is open now. You'll have a new #, but free texts over data. Very good push integration too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteman0vette:
Yep Google talk is the way to go!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] diablo009:
Email method works. When the person replies, it would come to email, not as text... I used this method over an year, before I switched to google voice recently.

[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
Just wondering if there is a quick way to disable the swyping on the swype keyboard.

Love Swype but sometimes a std keyboard would be easier and I find I am changing back to the HTC keyboard for the odd message and then back again.

What swype needs is a quick way to turnoff the swype funtion and go Dumb mode.

Problem is if I type to quickly it starts picking it up as swypes

Thanks
[HD2 General] Foggy79:
Check settings, menu, all settings, personal, input.

Tought you could change it over there.
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
Thanks for the response however not really worried about switching between swype and another keyboard. More hoping there is a quick way to keep swype but make it faster as a normal keypad.

Some of my messages (Txt or Email) Swype is a bit of a hinderance. Trying to touch (tap tap) is painfully slow and so is switching between keyboards. (Bottom center. Tap slightly to the right will prompt for type of keyboard).

Eg entering in information and funny names I would like to tap one of the sype buttons and swype function is temporaily disabled. I then type what I need to (tap tap tap) then tap the key again and the swype function is reenbled and I carry on (swype swiggle swishe)
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Swype to turn of the "swyping" as you eloquently put it.

Hope they come out with a newer build that could do that and one where you can access the EDITING options with just one button press.
[HD2 General] pakure:
i simply press the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of screen , and toggle to the normal, htc regular keyboard

edit: sorry, overlooked the op's main concern, please ignore
[HD2 General] kam333:
Hey, quick tip

you can quickly access the Editing options by swyping from the 'swype key' to the 'SYM key'

i am rooted, downloaded a file manager..which file did they store the factory apps in
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
system/app is where the apps are delete the odex file too if you decide to delete any apps. make sure you dont delete anything that the phone needs to run. if you dont know what to delete then dont delete anything!!! if you decide to delete anything from system/app you also need to delete another folder that has to do with the app in data/data. for example say you wanna delete bluetooth go to system/app and delete bluetooth.apk and the bluetooth.odex files then go to data/data and delete com.android.bluetooth folder. thats an example dont do that as you will no longer have bluetooth lol but same thing for whatever app you delete except the folder in data/data will be different
[Vibrant General] lou0611:
Whats wrong with factory apps?
[Vibrant General] phragg:
That's like when you get a new HP Laptop and they throw all this bloat-ware that you don't need.

Why use the ''TeleNav GPS'' when the Google Navigation is free?

And are you really going to use that Slacker or GoGo app? Not likely.
[Vibrant General] ranova:
Root, install Titanium backup, installed busybuzz or whatever (Hit the Problems? button in TB), BACKUP all your apps, then delete whatever you dont want
[Vibrant General] mygti02:
i got rid of Telenavi, GoGo, MobiTV and i think one other.....i never would use them so there was no reason to keep them.
[Vibrant General] sombionix:
You can also do this via adb shell like this:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/app

After you've mounted the correct partition you can pull up a complete list of apps with this command:

ls /system/app

Then, remove apps with this command. The apps name are case sensitive to make sure you type the app name as its displayed:

rm VoiceSearch.apk
[Vibrant General] bubonik:
Dont even need to mount.

Use VoiceSearch.* instead of apk to get rid of the .odex file also.
[Vibrant General] sombionix:
Good suggestion. Never thought of that, kill two birds with one stone.
[Vibrant General] phragg:
What do you mean by this?
[Vibrant General] merrifield69:
if you use "rm VoiceSearch.*" * is seen as a wild card so it deletes every file named VoiceSearch with any extension so it will delete VoiceSearch.apk and VoiceSearch.odex
[Vibrant General] cashless:
This might have something to do with why I can't mount my drives on any computer:

When I tried to mount via adb, this was my output:

$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount: Operation not permitted

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant General] sombionix:
Are you rooted? You need to be rooted in order to get access to those file systems. If you are rooted, then type 'su' (don't include the quotes), then you'll get a #. Now start entering the commands.
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
Also make sure that when you enter the commands (via adb) your screen is not locked, so that you can allow the SU app to grant superuser status.
[Droid X General] drowens:
I was wondering if anyone knew the screen width of the Droid X. I have searched high and low and cant find it anywhere. The reason why I ask is, it looks a little bit smaller in width then the EVO. I still getting the X either way I am just curious.

Thanks in advance
[Droid X General] Mikerrrrrrrr:
Though I don't have any hard numbers on hand, I know that the Droid X's screen is 16:9, and it is longer and taller than that of the Evo. Oh, and from a current X owner to a prospective one: the Droid X is awesome :)

[Vibrant General] zeco:
So where exactly should we be talking about the Canadian Samsung Galaxy S vibrant when it is released? Although it is called the Vibrant, it is my understanding that it is identical to the Galaxy S.

Oh and have you guys been feeling any of the lag on your devices that the Galaxy S i-9000 users have? Supposedly the Galaxy S people have been having some issues with unresponsiveness and lag due to a slow internal SDcard or something. And Another reported problem with the Galaxy S is the GPS not working very well.

Any other side notes and opinions about your Vibrants is welcome :p.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
It probably depends on the firmware version it launches with.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
The lag is mostly due to the I/O issue which we have a fix for...the GPS can also be easily fixed and samsung plans to fix it next firmware themselves.
[Vibrant General] zeco:
Hmm so it does indeed have the issue then? Fine I suppose since it is fixable, it just would have been nice to work out of the box.

And I'm just going to assume to speak about the Canadian Vibrant in the Galaxy S section (since it is much closer to that than the American Vibrant).
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
The lag is just ruining an otherwise outstanding phone. I have reset the phone to factory default and reduced the number of apps I have installed to the bare necessary ones for me. I still see the lags, but it's been better than before I reset the phone.

I have been resisting rooting the phone since the development on this is still rather nascent. But I'm veering towards going down that path.
